“This last financial year has been the most successful year for Hope Capital, delivering results well beyond all expectations.

To achieve this significant milestone during a period of so much uncertainty, given the wider economic climate and the impact the pandemic has had on so many industries, is an unbelievable accomplishment for Hope Capital.

Owing to the resilience and hard work of the team, coupled with the excellent service we are renowned for delivering and our innovative product range, we have significantly improved our overall performance.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the specialist lending market has continued to stride forward, and we believe that, as even more brokers become aware of the benefits bridging finance can bring, the sector will only continue to grow.”

Jonathan Sealey, concluded:

“Looking ahead, we are planning to propel this success even further, which we feel confident we will achieve by continuing to launch innovative products, as well as focus on our long-term recruitment strategy.”
